BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to toilets for disposing of human waste,and particularly to a toilet for human beings that is self contained ina small standard toilet size. The invention recycles liquid for flushingthrough distillation and eliminates liquid and solid waste throughdehydration, evaporation, aeration and grinding, resulting in a drysanitized disposable waste powder product.

2. Description of Related Art

The use of toilets is almost universal in today's society. Conventionaltoilets use anywhere from one to seven gallons of water each time thetoilet is flushed, at least in most industrialized countries. The wasteof water continues whether the human waste is liquid or solid. The neteffect is a tremendous consumption of water throughout the United Statesand other industrialized countries.

Other environments are such that disposing of human waste in lakes andoceans and canals is in some cases prohibited and in other casescertainly undesirable as a way of eliminating human waste. Thisparticular problem is evident in the boating industry with the directdumping of human waste overboard into the surrounding waters. Thus,there exists in conventional toilet use and in certain environmentalimpact uses, the need for a toilet for disposing of human waste thatdoes not consume water and that does not result in disposing of rawsewerage or raw human waste into the surrounding environment.

Other forms of disposing of sewerage and human waste include the use ofseptic tanks which are common in many parts of the United States andwhich often results in an increased bacterial count of surrounding watersupplies, especially during heavy rains and the like. Although manyareas are trying to rid themselves of septic tanks, they are still quitecommon.

Another problem is that chemical toilets utilize very toxic chemicalssuch as hydrochloric acid or chlorine, which are poured into a holdingtank for purification purposes. Often the material can be ground up andtreated with very undesirable toxic chemicals that can be harmful to theenvironment when the entire matter is released.

The present invention solves the problem by providing a toilet thatdehydrates, sanitizes and reduces human waste to a safely disposablepowder or ash that can be returned to the soil.

Many patents have been issued in which the drying of human waste occurs.Composting toilets such as U.S. Pat. No. 4,364,130 issued Dec. 21, 1982,to Persson are basically boxes with an agitation and aeration apparatus.They reduce the waste by removing the water content through naturalventilation means. This method deposits new waste on top of old, like anouthouse, without eliminating the odor and with very slow andundependable drying. This is undesirable in most cases.

Incineration toilets reduce the water content in human waste throughheat as in baking. They also deposit new waste on top of old to deliverclumps of dried waste material. Alternative heat sources have also beenused including heat from the tail pipe of an engine to remove wastewatercontent as in U.S. Pat. No 3,936,888 issued Feb. 10, 1976, toSturtevant. Here, grinding, pumping and metering delivers a steady flowof waste to a tailpipe for vaporization and the blowing of the wastepowder into the air. This method is not desired or allowed in mostregions.

U.S. Pat. No. 4,999,930 issued Mar. 19, 1991 to Kishi, et al., shows adevice for drying raw sewerage. The device employees a plurality of heatballs which are paddled around and which allow for some dehydration ofsewerage. The system here requires a fairly inefficient array ofchemical elements, which attempt to dehydrate the waste materials.

U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,152,074, 5,230,164, and 5,564,133 all issued to Kishicontinue the drying theory but fail to perform the operation in a smallstandard size unit. They also fail to explain how the toilet-bowl andintake pipes are flushed clean. They fail to answer many other practicaloperation problems that are solved within the present invention.

U.S. Pat. No. 5,218,724 issued Jun. 15, 1993 to Blankenship, shows anincinerator toilet with a removal catalyst container. One of thedrawbacks of this device is that it uses catalyst pellets for reducingodor, which are inserted and removed for replacement.

U.S. Pat. No. 5,276,924 issued to Hachima, on Jan. 11, 1994, shows amethod and apparatus for disposing of body waste that includes inductiveheating.

The present invention overcomes the problems of the prior art byproviding a compact, clean flushing and extremely efficient toilet. Ituses a small amount of electrical energy for dehydration and anefficient grinder for producing a dry powder-like substance that isbagged and return to the environment without water consumption.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

A toilet for disposing of human waste safely and sanitarily withoutchemicals or water consumption. The toilet utilizes compressed air andrecycled liquids for toilet bowl cleaning. It is necessary to use bothair and liquid for flushing because less force and too much liquid isused in a liquid-only system. With an air-only system, the toilet bowlcannot be cleaned.

A compressor is used to pressurize a tank. The tank air pressure is usedto drive an air motor that grinds the waste and scrapes the dehydrationchamber clean. The compressor's air intake comes from the top inside ofthe toilet bowl, drawing out any odors from within the bowl. Thecompressor then blows this air through the dehydration chamber, aeratingand dehydrating the waste material before venting to the outside.

The air intake from the toilet bowl not only deodorizes the bowl whilein use but also delivers warm air for dehydration rather than the coldoutside air used by some others. Further, the air in this invention ismoving at a rate of 2-3 CFM. This slow air flow rate reduces the heatrequired by other blower fan units that heat and move over 20 CFM.

Compressed air is used for blowing the dry waste into the waste bag anda passive vent chamber is utilized for deodorizing. There is a heatingelement and a motor underneath the dehydration chamber. Blades arelocated inside the chamber to grind the material and scrap clean theinside surface of the chamber as air passes slowly through. Theresultant powdered waste contents are stored in a bag or container untildiscarded. At least three sizes are planned; a standard full sizetoilet, a small compact toilet, and a remote base with a dehydrationtoilet seat. They will be available in 12 VDC, 120 VAC and 220 VACelectric.

The first improvement includes jet nozzles around and underneath thetoilet seat and against the toilet bowl wall. These jets are facingdownwards and release a mixture of liquid and air from a pressure tankfor cleaning the toilet bowl walls and forcing the waste into thedehydration chamber through the sliding gate valve at the base of thetoilet bowl.

The dehydration chamber includes a three-inch slide gate valve locatedat the top of the chamber (bottom of the bowl) for waste entry. A oneand a half-inch slide gate valve is also located on the bottom/side ofthe chamber for a waste exit. A three-quarter-inch open port on thetopside of the chamber vents the steam and odors from the dehydrationchamber through the deodorization chamber. There is also a quarter inchopen port on the center/side for receiving vent air and air pressure toblow the waste powder into the bagged containment area.

The dehydration chamber's sliding valves are in the closed position whenin use. The closed valves allow the dehydration process to be performedfrom a previous patron while providing an empty clean bowl for use byanother patron.

The dehydration chamber also includes a domed heat plate. An electriccoil is used to heat the heat plate. An air motor is used to grind thewaste and scrape the bottom and sides of the chamber. It is necessary togrind and cut the waste into powder for the waste bag. It is alsonecessary to scrape the chamber clean so that an insulation layer doesnot build up reducing efficiency. Exhaust from the air motor goes to thedehydration chamber to assist in ventilation and movement of dried wasteinto the waste bag at the end of the cycle. The Kishi patent uses ballsthat will not cut and shred the material nor clean and scrape theinsides of a chamber nor assist in ventilation.

This liquid is reclaimed through a copper coil, distilled from the steamcreated in the dehydration process. This distilled liquid is held in areservoir that fills the flush chamber underneath. The flush chamber ispressurized with air to clean the toilet bowl. When the reservoir isfull the excess water with steam and gas exit through the vent pipe.Under the reservoir is a flush chamber which holds one cup of liquid.When it is full, a ball floats to the top closing off the reservoir.When air pressure is sent to the flush chamber the float ball remains atthe top closing off the reservoir while the water and air inside thechamber is mixed and sent to the bowl jets, flushing the toilet. Whenthe flush cycle ends, the air pressure stops, making the float ball fallto the bottom of the chamber to allow liquid from the reservoir to enteruntil full and the ball is on top again.

There are two temperature sensors in the toilet. One sensor is in theheater controlling its temperature between 250 and 3000 degrees F. Theother sensor is in the vent pipe detecting the difference between highsteam heat over 212 degrees F and low dry heat under 200 degrees F. Whenthe heat is high the dehydration process continues but when thetemperature drops below 200 degrees there is no steam, this ends thedehydration process and blows the waste powder into the holding bag orcontainer. Detecting the relative humidity through the temperature ofthe steam to regulate the toilet cycle will allow the unit to know whento end the heating process. It does not have to be programmed to run onehour like many others, when only five minutes may be needed fordehydrating a small deposit or may run up to an hour with large ormultiple deposits.

The toilet can be used immediately after flushing and ready for anotherflush when the tank is pressurized within two minutes.

When a person has completed use of the toilet, the operation button ispushed. This opens the bowl valve and releases compressed air to theflush chamber sending liquid and air to clean the bowl. Sitting on thetoilet seat will also start the compressor to draw odor from the toiletbowl while in use. The compressor will also be on during the dehydrationprocess to aerate the dehydration and assist in venting. The compressoris only off when the tank is full, the dehydration process is complete,the dehydration chamber is empty and there is no one sitting on theseat.

There are three indicator lights. The green flush button light indicatesthat the tank is pressurized and ready to flushing. The yellow lightindicates that the waste bag is heavy and it is time to change the wastebag. The red light indicates a fault in the toilets operation. If thered button pushed, it will open the bowl valve and shut down the unitfor five minutes.

The dehydration chamber can hold multiple deposits on top of each other,at any time, even though the dehydration process is not completed andthe waste is not dry enough for bagging. The vent temperature sensorwill control the appropriate time needed for the dehydration process.

In accordance with these and other objects which will become apparenthereinafter, the instant invention will now be described with particularreference to the accompanying drawings.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Referring now to the drawings and in particular FIG. 1, the explodedview of the present invention is shown generally comprising a toiletcabinet 20 made out of a plastic material with a bottom part 21 madefrom the same material. The toilet cabinet bottom part has a wastechamber 22A also of the same material. On the side of cabinet 20 is awaste door 22B to access waste chamber 22A. On the floor of the wastechamber there is foam rubber or springs 24B that are set with theappropriate tension depending on bag and chamber size as to cause afloor plate 22C to close normally open contact switch 24A and turn thebag full light 51 on when full.

A toilet lid 1 and a seat 2 are on top of cabinet 20. Preferably, theseat 2 and cabinet 20 is the approximate size of a conventional watertoilet. Underneath seat 2 is foam rubber or springs 3B which whencompressed close a contact switch 3A activating compressor 43 todeodorize the toilet bowl 6 when in use.

Underneath seat 2 and inside the cabinet 20 is bowl 6. Bowl 6 has acompressor intake 4A located at the top rear of bowl 6. It is connectedto a compressor muffler 4B then to compressor 43. Bowl 6 also has anumber of cleaning jet nozzles 5, depending on bowl size. They areconnected to valve 44 which releases pressure from an air tank 26 inorder to clean bowl 6 with a combination of liquid and air mixed fromthe flush chamber 28. Flush chamber 28 is closed off from the reservoirby float ball 29. Bowl 6 has an opening 34 at its bottom, with athree-inch sliding bowl valve 7A operated by an actuator 7B.

Chamber 8 for dehydration has four ports. The toilet bowl 6 and thedehydration chamber 8 can be separated from the rest of the apparatusand placed in a remote location. One is a bowl port 9 which is connectedto valve 7A. The second is air port 10 which is a ¼ inch side portreceiving air from the compressor through three way valve 46 or cleanvalve 45. The third port is vent port 11 which is connected to a steamand gas vent pipe 25A and distilled through pipe 36 or vented outsidethrough a vent port 42. The fourth port is a waste port 12 which isopened by waste valve 13A operated by actuator 13B connected to a wastebag 23. The air blowing into waste bag 23 exits through vent pipe 25Bpast valve 37 to outside port 42. Inside chamber 8 are cutting blades 15and scraping blades 14 which are connected to drive motor 18 by driveshaft 18A contained in motor case 19. In the preferred embodiment, thedrive motor operates at approximately 0.5 kW; however, for someapplications, more energy may be used. The heater coil 17 has a heatersensor 16 to control the temperature of the dehydration chamber.

Tank 26 has two ports. The first port 27 is an air pressure intake fromcompressor 43 through three-way valve 46. The second port is an exitport 30 to be used by valve 44. Three way valve 46 allows compressor 43to blow through the valve to the dehydration chamber 8 or when energizedand closed allowing compressor 43 to fill and pressurize tank 26.

Other components include the deodorization pipe 40 which is connected tovent 42. Pipe 40 contains deodorization balls 39 and cap 41. Back flowcheck valve 38 prevents gasses from flowing into the unit and thenormally closed spring switch sensor 39B (FIG. 4) operates an indicatorlight when it is time to add deodorization balls. Deodorization ballsmay be made from quick lime, chlorine, camphor or other material used inurinals and like materials.

A liquid reservoir 32 is connected at its top to pipe 36 and at itsbottom to flush chamber 28. Liquid, such as water including thatreclaimed by the apparatus, is received by chamber 28 from reservoir 32.Antifreeze may also be used either alone or in addition to said liquidto prevent freezing and aid in distillation reclamation.

The controlling electronics come from a relay board 48, microprocessorboard 49 and buttons 50 and 52. Start button 50 starts the flush cyclewhen the green ready light indicates a full tank for flushing. A delaywill occur when the flush button is pushed if the tank is not full.Yellow indicator light 51 indicates that the waste bag is full. Whenemergency off button 52 is pushed, the unit will shut down, the bowlvalve will open and the light will be red indicating that troubleexists. An optional light would indicate time to add deodorizationballs.

The method of operating the toilet of the present invention is asfollows. Open bowl valve 7A. Open bowl cleaning air and liquid valve 44.Close valve 44 and valve 7A. Activate heater coil 17 regulated by heatersensor 16. Activate compressor 43 and valve 46 to fill tank 26 withliquid such as water. Start button light 50 is on when tank 26 is full.De-activate valve 46 for compressor 43 to circulate air through port 10into chamber 8. Drive motor 18 will turn blades 15 to operate for onesecond per minute. When vent sensor 33 reads that the temperature islow, motor 18 and heater 17 are shut off, then waste valve 13A opens andmotor 18 comes on for five seconds scraping and blowing the dried wastethrough chamber port 10 into bag 23 thereby emptying the chamber 8.Waste valve 13A is then closed and three-way valve 46 is activated tore-fill the tank 26 with reclaimed liquid such as water, completing thecycle.

Referring now to FIG. 2, the side view of the present invention is showngenerally comprising the components referred to in FIG. 1. FIG. 2depicts these components placed in their respective locations.

Referring now to FIG. 3, the waste chamber of the present invention isshown generally comprising of waste chamber 22A being approximately3″×6″×6″ and has a waste powder intake from port 12 from chamber 8. Thewaste chamber is closed off by door 22B. The waste chamber also has afloor plate 22C. Preferably, underneath floor plate 22C is a foam rubberpad or springs 24B surrounding a normally open contact switch 24A. Thesprings or foam is compressed when bag 23 is full; this closes thecontact switch 24A turning on bag full light 51.

In an alternate embodiment, a container instead of a bag could be usedand emptied or an attachment for a vacuum cleaner could suck the wasteout of the bowl as with multiple units to a central vacuum and holdingcontainer.

Referring now to FIG. 4, the deodorization and ventilation system of thepresent invention is shown generally comprising vent pipes 25A and 25B,each having a ¾ inch diameter. This diameter is used because largerpipes make the temperature sensor readings slow and smaller pipesrestrict the steam and airflow for proper operation. The pipes can bemade of copper, aluminum, steel or high temperature plastic. Thetemperature of the pipes could reach over 200 degrees directly out ofdehydration chamber 8. When the reservoir liquid level is high, thesteam and distilled water surplus exit through vent pipe 25A to outsideport 42. Waste chamber 22A uses vent pipes 25B to exit air fromdehydration waste port 12. Valve 38 (not shown) opens to vent outsideand closes to prevent back flow of gases. The same is true for checkvalve 37 preventing steam and gasses from vent pipe 25A to enter wastechamber 22A.

Located in deodorization pipe 40 are the deodorizing balls 39 enteringpipe 40 through the back of the toilet with cap 41. There is a screenthat the balls rest on. The steam and air pass by balls 39 and outthrough vent 40. When the steam and air dissolve balls 39 in pipe 40,another ball in pipe 40 takes its place. When there are no balls left,sensor switch 39B detects this and turns on a warning light.

Referring now to FIG. 5, the dehydration chamber of the presentinvention is shown generally comprising a dehydration chamber 8 andelectric motor casing 19. Nuts and long bolts 8B connect chamber 8 totop 8C and motor casing 19. Inside is drive motor 18 and drive shaft18A. On top of the motor are two thin insulation boards 17A and 17B.Board 17A is on the top and board 17B is on the bottom of heater coil17. The insulation protects coil 17 from grounding out on motor casing19 and chamber 8. The insulation also reduces heat transfer to motor 18.

Inside chamber 8 are cutting blades 15 and scraping blades 14. Thecutting and scraping unit consists of two side scraper blades 14Aattached to mounting cross bar 14B. Angled down and off cross bar 14Bare bottom scraper blades 14C which act like snow plows lifting materialfrom the hot chamber floor and throwing it over and past cutting blades15. Cutting blades 15 are sharpened metal channels attached to bar 14Bby a rivet in the center of the channel that the channel spins on,cutting the material as it passes by. A domed nut 14D connects the unitto motor 18 by threading on to drive shaft 18A.

Referring now to FIG. 6, the distillation system of the presentinvention is shown generally comprising an air tank 26 and a liquidreservoir 32 that connects to the distillation pipe 36. The distillationpipe 36 is preferably one or more cooling coils used in the distillationprocess. Preferably, the dehydration process uses the cooling coils todistill steam and reclaim water for flushing. Vent pipe 25B passes steamby vent sensor 33 to sense when the heater should start and finish.Under reservoir 32 is flush chamber 28. Chamber 28 receives liquid fromreservoir 32, when full float ball 29 raises to the top. When airpressure from tank 26 enters through valve 44, float ball 29 is pressedclosed against the opening of the reservoir and the air and liquid isthen mixed with the pressure sent to jets 5 to increase cleaning forceused to clean the toilet bowl.

Referring now to FIG. 7, the bowl deodorization system of the presentinvention is shown generally comprising a toilet seat 2 and lid 1 on topof cabinet 20 with contact switch 3A and compressor 43 inside. Thus, inthe preferred embodiment, the toilet is self-contained and the same sizeas most water toilets. You will notice that there are two foam rubberpads or springs 3B attached to the seat, contact switch 3A comes up fromcabinet so as to come in contact with the seat 2. When the seat hasweight applied to it, it is compressed and switch 3A closes turningcompressor 43 on so that air from bowl 6 is drawn in to compressorintake 4A through muffler 4B and exits through the dehydration chamber 8to the outside vent 42.

The instant invention has been shown and described herein in what isconsidered to be the most practical and preferred embodiment.
